NATIONAL SURVEY
STATEMENT PENDING (Por Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. I have no desire to enter into n controversy with the Minister of Labour, tile Hon'. P. C. Webb, on the degree of co-operation existing hitherto between the Placement Service and the Farmers’ Union,” said the Dominion secretary, Mr. A. P. O’Shea, last evening. “I would like to point out, however, that the Council for Primary Production is endeavouring to arrange for a national survey of the farm labour position. This job will fall largely on the Farmers' Union, and it has been decided, when the survey is completed, that representatives of the union and others will confer with placement officers. 1 would suggest that judgment be suspended, and criticism withheld until the survey is completed and conferences with the placement officers have taken place.” A public statement about the survey should be released shortly, Mr. O’Shea concluded.
